2: Beware of These 3 Words
Manage episode 353694522 series 3440709
The way we speak to ourselves matters and so often we have sneaky, seemingly inconsequential thoughts that actually have more of an impact on how we feel and what we do than we even recognize. Today, I will share 3 words that you should be on the lookout for, so that you can challenge and change them if needed.
What I cover in this episode:
Why the word "always" can result in you creating a limiting belief about yourself and/or create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Why the word "never" disempowers you and prevents you from doing things that you are likely 100% capable of.
How you beat yourself up using the word "should" and how to create statements that embrace more self-compassion.
Let’s take some action:
When you notice yourself talking to yourself or someone else and using "always", "never" or "should", pause and challenge your statement. Is it 100% true, and if not, restate it in a way that is more accurate.
If you notice you have frequently used "always", "never" or "should" statements, take some time and write down a few alternative statements for each, that feel better and are more empowering, and review them often. This will help you change the overall narrative that plays out in your mind.
It may sound simple, but it can have a big impact on how you view yourself, which will impact how you feel and the actions you take.
